Chapter 152: Follow the will to be ordinary, go against the will to be immortal! The Immortal of Mountains and Rivers, the Master of Wuwei Sect, and the Princess of Fuyao
[Fifteen years ago, you were born in Tongye Prefecture, Longxi Prefecture, as the fourth son of Li Shenyao, who was granted the title of 'Duke Tongye'. However, you were born out of wedlock, to a maidservant with no family background.]

[At the same time, your half brother 'Li Shentong' was born, who is only a few hours older than you.]

[He was born with double pupils, and there were purple lightnings on the back of his hands. He was born with all the strength and bones connected. In this era when the spiritual energy of martial arts is surging like a tide, he is a natural born cultivator! ]

[Tongyegong Li Shenyao, born in the human race, practiced in the world's first Xuanmen 'Life and Death Mountain and River Sect' in his early years, comprehended the second level of 'Life and Death Mountain and River Mysterious Art', and reached the Great Innate. ]

[As the King of Great Yin rose to power, he swept across the five states and laid the foundation, and then he established his own kingdom in Tongye. He had 100,000 brave soldiers under his command. ]

[His first wife was a daughter of a noble family with 'half-demon bloodline'. His eldest son, Li Qiankun, was in charge of the state government. His second son, Li Xuanzong, was trained by the 'Great Yin Martial Saint', one of the 'Six Pillars of Great Yin'. He was skilled in military operations and was proficient in battle formations.]

[At that time, people in the world said that the Li family had a unicorn, one civil and one military, both of whom could become the king's assistants. When the eldest son, Li Qiankun, entered officialdom for the first time when he was a teenager, he was appointed as a palace master; the second son was even recruited as the emperor's personal guard, and he followed the emperor into the capital of the Great Yin.]

[Logically, at this point in the Li family's history, it is inevitable that the descendants will surpass their ancestors, but————]

[With the birth of Li Shentong, it seems that the future of the Tongyezhou Li family, one of the most powerful families in the world, will not stop there.]

[Your father was born in the common world, and he struggled for decades before he became a great innate. It was not until the martial arts were revived more than ten years ago that he relied on profound skills and resources to cultivate to the third step of the 'Yuan Dan' realm. He did not have any extraordinary talent to inherit to you.]

【And the three elder brothers are bright and beautiful. 】

[Naturally, you, who are ordinary, appear insignificant. ]

[You were unknown for the first fifteen years of your life, but the Li family never lacked food for you. The servants and domestic servants also respected you and always called you "Fourth Young Master."]

[Of your three brothers, except for Li Shentong, who is about your age and always looks down on you, your eldest brother Li Qiankun and your second brother Li Xuanzong are usually very gentle to you.]

【But that was all just superficial 'brotherly love and respect'. 】

[In the past fifteen years, since you have made mediocre achievements in martial arts, your resources have been pitifully scarce.]

[Until you were twelve or thirteen years old, you followed your father and brothers to the sect to pay homage to the 'Mountain and River Immortal' on his centenary birthday, and set foot on the world's first mysterious sect, the 'Mountain and River Sect of Life and Death'. ]

[This year, the sect leader with a sharp eye saw through your fate at a glance. He told you that you were born with two great hurdles. If you survive one, you will be able to transform your fate and make rapid progress. If you can survive both, you will surely become one of those "Dharma Seekers" who broke through their fate and are recorded in the files of the Cave Heaven.]

[These two thresholds, one is sixteen years old, the other is twenty-eight years old. Both will bring about a catastrophe, perhaps a natural disaster or a man-made disaster. Unfortunately, throughout history, there have been no people with such a fate.]

[Ninety-nine percent of them can’t even get past the age of sixteen, let alone twenty-eight.]

【About 20 to 30 years ago, spiritual energy seeped out of the cracks in the cave. With the help of ancient files and inheritance, it took nine years to cultivate from the second step of 'Da Xiantian' to the peak of Yuandan 'Heavenly Realm'. The head of the Life and Death Sect, Zuo Shanhe, who is known as the 'Mountain and River Immortal', is only one step away from becoming a real person who has not appeared in three hundred years. He patted your shoulder and signaled to your father and brother that if one day you can break through the fate of sixteen years old, you can come to pay homage to him after the transformation. At that time, he will accept you as a disciple and teach you the true teachings.】

[From then on, you were no longer an invisible person, but began to be noticed by the tribe.]

[However, as your father consulted many ancient books, he found that there were records of people with the "28th limit" fate, but in the past three hundred years, as the practice of cultivation declined, no one has ever been able to break this fate.]

[Plus, your aptitude and luck are mediocre, and you don't see any hope of breaking the limit of life and death. And according to rumors, if you survive this fate, it will endanger the fate of the entire clan. Over time, no one in the clan hopes that you can break this fate.]

[Your third brother Li Shentong, who is the same age as you, once sneered at you and said arrogantly: "Since you are a mortal, you should enjoy the wealth and honor that the Li family has brought you. Leave an offspring before you are sixteen, and then die. This is what you deserve!"]

【And your name.】

【So he was called: Li Shunfan. 】

[As a powerful family in the world, the Li family has mansions in Tongye Prefecture and Shenjing. ]

[Your elder brother Li Qiankun and your second elder brother Li Xuanzong were officials and generals in Tongye Prefecture. They were sent out to help Li Shenyao manage the family and expand his influence.]

[As for Li Shentong and you, you have lived in Shenjing for fifteen years. Everything has been peaceful and you have lived a carefree life, until————]

On this day,

[The northwest land, the territory of the five states. ]

[The Red Eyebrows gathered in the mountains and forests, and under the secret guidance of the leader of the Demon Sect, Wuwei, who was known for being "unfettered and spontaneous", they captured the prefectures and counties, and caused chaos in the southeastern states of "Fuyao" and "Changbai".]

[Its leader is called 'General Chongtian' Huanglong Dao, who has already cultivated dragons and tigers. Now the top heavenly beings who have cultivated are not coming out, which can be called the pinnacle. ]

[In addition, he has the guidance of the 'Wuwei' demon behind him. He was once a failed scholar and suffered from the pain of being 'classified into different classes'. In anger, he wants to revive the social order and establish an order where all beings, including 'demons, half-demons, and humans', are equal.]

[At that time, the three demon giants who occupied the Aquarius State and the barbarian areas of the northwest wilderness, which were not called "states", were not worried about the lack of equality, and wondered why they were inferior to the "half-demons". So they also split off the northwest land and watched the turmoil in the northwest with cold eyes. ]

[The spiritual energy leaking from the cracks in the cave has allowed those who were once at the level of Great Innate to advance by leaps and bounds, and naturally their ambitions have also increased.]

[Your father Li Shenyao was the same. He had 100,000 soldiers in Tongyezhou. He smelled something and decided to start a rebellion, but the news leaked in advance, so his family in Shenjing did not have time to evacuate.]

[So, one of the six pillars of the Great Yin Dynasty, the chess master Xu Ruotong, who was known as the 'Nine Thousand Years Old', sent his 'Eight Great Adopted Sons' to destroy the family and the mansion.]

[However, fortunately, there was a riot in Great Yin tonight, and most of the masters were alarmed, so even if Tongye Gong Li Shenyao rebelled and exterminated his family, it did not attract the real top masters. ]

[With the protection of many dead servants and trusted followers, you and Li Shentong escaped from the capital. It was the middle of winter with heavy snow and frost. The leader of your personal guards, the family son Li Qing, had his Yuandan shattered and was seriously injured. However, the pursuers kept coming from behind.]

【At this moment,】

[Li Qing, the commander of the personal guards, looked at you and Li Shentong, who were of similar age, stature, and appearance, and made a decision after pondering for a while.]

[And this night happens to be your sixteenth birthday. ]

Under the cover of night, the wind and snow were howling.

If we say that Shenjing is a 'city that never sleeps', even the outermost gathering places are brightly lit.

Once you leave that city, even Minghuang Prefecture, where the Great Yin nation was founded, will be in ruins everywhere.

The country is ruled by half-demons and demons are rampant. The human race is born with weak physiques and cannot compare with the other two races in terms of martial arts. Although they are talented, 99% of them in the world cannot achieve anything.

In the past, there were many masters who could suppress the mountains and rivers, which was fine.

But as the three hundred years passed, the cave was closed, and cultivation fell from the altar. The top combat power was only the great innate, who were naturally no match for the demons and half-demon species.

It is only in the last twenty or thirty years that cracks have appeared in the cave heaven, leading to the rise of a tide of spiritual practice, and causing famous mountains and sects to spring up like mushrooms after a rain. The situation has only improved somewhat.

In this situation.

季夏
Slowly opened his eyes.

He first looked around.

In front of him, a long trail of blood stung his nose, covering the thick layer of snow and dragging into the half-open, dilapidated wooden door.

There are spider webs everywhere, and there are clay statues and bronze statues that are over a hundred years old. They are enshrined in the center of the temple. They are missing arms and legs, look weird, and have long lost their popularity.

"Whoop, whoop"

At this time, beside Ji Xia.

There was a strong and sturdy young man with blood coming out of his abdomen. He kept covering his chest and veins were bulging on his forehead.

And a young man wearing purple clothes and jade belt, with double pupils in his eyes, and a sense of "rebelliousness" and "arrogance" between his brows. There was anxiety in his eyes, but he pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.

It’s time to say it or not.

Although this young man seems immature, he can clearly see his embarrassment and constraints in his eyes. If he doesn't die young, he will surely become a great man in the future.

Looking at the two of them,

Accepted the memories of the past fifteen years.

I recognized them both at the first moment.

Li Qing, the commander of the personal guards at the Li family mansion in Shenjing.

There is also his third oldest brother, Li Shentong, who was born on the same day as him.

Seeing these two people,
An inexplicable sense of awe arose in Ji Xia's heart.

Realizing this feeling, Ji Xia was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.

How could I fear people?
When he was Song Chai Xin, Ji Xia was never afraid of anyone, even when he was surrounded and killed by Xuanbing Cave, Gu Family, Lord of Baoping State, and General Baoping!

He has never been afraid or timid!

But unexpectedly, I encountered it for the first time today.

"Li Shunfan" silently recited this name in his heart, Ji Xia closed his eyes slightly, and felt every bit of the past fifteen years.
Li Qing.

The ruler of the divine capital is usually serious and holds a very high status.

Although he was the son of a duke, he was born out of wedlock. In fact, in terms of status, he was just an embroidered pillow. He could not compare with the generals who were highly regarded by Tongye Duke Li Shenyao.

Moreover, he taught me martial arts for seven years and was my nominal 'teacher'.

Although, he didn't teach much, except for scolding and yelling, he just let Li Shunfan express himself freely.

Li Qing focused all his energy on Li Shentong, striving to lay the best foundation for him.

Coupled with the medicinal bath and elixir from the Duke's Mansion, the sixteen-year-old Li Shentong's golden skin, jade veins, mercury blood and silver marrow have all been polished to perfection.

In about half a year, when Mr. Tongye Li Shenyao finds the higher-grade Qi, he will be able to put on the water and fire fairy clothes, then prove the Qi gathering of the Zhoutian Circle, and sprint to the great innate level at the age of sixteen!
Therefore, Ji Xia didn't have any feelings for him.

As for Li Shentong, contempt and sarcasm are commonplace.

When these two people ran away, they took me with them, most likely because of our blood relationship, and maybe they had other purposes.

I saw Ji Xia looking over.

Li Shentong was nervous, but when he looked at his "brother", he suddenly sneered:
"You've been chased all the way, and now you haven't shaken off the pursuers. You've only escaped for a short time, but you can still sleep. You're really carefree, kid."

He was about to say something more, but at this time, Li Qing suddenly interrupted Li Shentong, then covered his chest and looked at Ji Xia:

"Stop talking. The situation is urgent right now. This is not the time to talk about this. My Yuandan is broken now. I can no longer lead the two young masters out of the encirclement. You have to walk the rest of the way by yourselves."

"Fourth Young Master, come here, I have something to tell you."

Li Qing slowly stretched out his bloody hand towards Ji Xia. There seemed to be some kind of determination in his eyes, which made Ji Xia's heart skip a beat. He suddenly remembered his "fate" in this life.

"The head of the 'Life and Death Mountain and River Sect', which is known as the world's number one mysterious sect, once said that I will have a great catastrophe at the age of twenty-eight and a death catastrophe at the age of sixteen. Now I count the days, and today seems to be my sixteenth year."

"I just reincarnated and it's this day. I really can't find a way to survive!"

Feeling that he only had a small level of mercury blood and silver marrow, a cultivation level acquired through the use of medicine, Ji Xia stood up in silence.

But fortunately
Feeling a thin and tiny wisp of "Tao Qi" slowly flowing along his body, as if it was seeping out from his bone marrow, as if it was natural. Suddenly, Ji Xia was startled:
"Why did the demon-hunting energy appear in this 'body'?"

"and"

in case,

Song Chai Xin and Ji Xia in the past were both gifted with the magic-catching energy after birth.

So what about myself as 'Lee Soon-fan'?

He was born with the 'Evil-hunting Spirit'!
For a moment,

Ji Xia thought of four big words!
'The Tao is natural'!
Otherwise how to explain this scene?
but.
I've never heard of anyone who is born with a natural Taoist talent having such poor aptitude.

However, when Ji Xia remembered that he was exactly sixteen years old in this life, and remembered what Zuo Shanhe, the head of the Life and Death Sect, said, breaking through the fate of "sixteen years old" would be like breaking through a cage, he couldn't help but be shocked:
"Could it be that my fate has limited my ability, which has led to my low aptitude?"

Combined with your previous vision and knowledge.

The more Ji Xia noticed, the more likely it seemed.

At the same time, the name of Zuo Shanhe, the leader of the Life and Death Gate, gradually caused waves in his heart.

"It was the time when Dazhao was not yet built. For me, this period of time was like 'seeing flowers in the fog'."

"and"

"My memory seems to have become blurred because of entering the reincarnation cycle. There are many things that I can't remember. For example, who inherited this 'Demon Hunting Dao Qi'?"

Ji Xia's brows gradually furrowed. He clearly knew the whole origin of this energy, but there was a flaw and he forgot why it appeared.

Strange and strange.

Could it be that this is what the Book of Reincarnation says?
Before he could think about it, he suddenly heard Li Qing's hurried voice: "Fourth Young Master? Fourth Young Master!"

"What are you doing?"

"Time is running out, I'll leave sooner if I wait, you come quickly!"

Seeing Li Qing, whose Yuandan was shattered and bleeding from his mouth and nose, urging him to hurry over, Ji Xia frowned slightly and walked over calmly.

When the two were only half an arm's length apart
Whoosh!
Ji Xia suddenly burst out with strength, thinking about the 'Blood and Paint Fist' that he had studied before, and suddenly punched out, hitting Li Qing's ancestral acupoint between his eyebrows!

Click!

All I heard was a 'bang'!
Li Qing's eyes widened, impressed by this slightly clumsy but highly skilled punch.

Smashed through the ancestral acupoint between the eyebrows!
The sword that he had been using to control the object with his mind and was pointing at Ji Xia's back fell to the ground with a "click", as if it had lost its master's control.

"you you."

He stretched out his fingers tremblingly, and died before he could finish his words.

The situation on the field changed too quickly.

The young man in purple clothes and jade belt, Li Shentong, opened his eyes wide in horror. He looked at Ji Xia, who was covered in blood but still had a calm expression. He pointed at him tremblingly and took a step back.

At this moment,
Ji Xia ignored him.

Although, he had only achieved some accomplishments before, and his body had not yet mastered his boxing skills, resulting in only one skill remaining in ten steps.

However, Li Qing died, leaving only Li Shentong, who was not a big problem.

So Ji Xia leaned over and looked at Li Qing, who was holding a bag in one hand and had died before he could untie it. Then he pulled the bag towards him and tore it open without any hesitation.

Dengdeng.

In the bag, two soft, bloodshot balls that looked like double pupils fell to the ground.

The dilapidated windows were whirring in the wind.

Li Shentong behind him looked pale.

"Brother."

"You want to kill me."

At this time, Ji Xia turned around and smiled.

"Are you trying to take my life and pass off the fake as the real thing?"

He walked forward step by step.

"I guess."

"Do you want to cut a few more wounds on me, make me bloody and create some chaos? Besides, Li Qing's body is lying here, and there is chaos in the capital tonight, so many masters have no time to take care of other things."

"Can you ask someone to bring my body back quickly so that we can report directly? At this time, you can escape thousands of miles away and be safe?"

"What a great trick to escape from the shell. Looking at these two lifelike eyeballs, I'm afraid he had thought of it long ago when he was in the mansion."

In Li Shentong's eyes, Ji Xia's figure became bigger and bigger.

The divine light in those eyes was burning like a fire, and seemed to contain a color that was even more unruly and sharp than his own.

But no matter how he looked at it,

竟.
There is no longer any sign of timidity as before.

"Li Shunfan? Li Shunfan! I am the direct descendant of Lord Tongye, and I am your blood brother!"

Li Shentong's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he shouted loudly, appearing strong but actually weak!

At the same time, his eyes showed a slight coldness, and after a brief hesitation, the ruthlessness flowing in his blood made him punch out directly like a cannonball, trying to take the initiative!

However, Ji Xia was not in a hurry. He exchanged punches with Li Shentong and activated the 'Demon Hunting Qi' to completely suppress the half-demon blood flowing in his body!
Then, his eyes were cold, and his embroidered robe fluttered in the snow:
"From today on, I will no longer be called by this name."

Shunfan, Shunfan.

What a joke.

I can only live to the age of sixteen. If I can't break the fate, I will die. What kind of crappy name did Tongye Gong give himself?
Suddenly, Ji Xia had a flash of inspiration and remembered his present self. He seemed to have heard a very impressive "name".

"Step on the Immortal."

His voice was light.

"from now on,"

"My name is Li Taxian."

The words fell.

Li Shentong's eyes widened angrily, and he fell to the ground with a bang. A bloody hole on his chest was clearly visible.

Ji Xia was also hit hard on the chest, with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth and a sarcastic expression on his face.

After all, he is a guy who has never killed anyone and has never seen blood.

If he had this flesh and blood,
how
It can also make your own bones and muscles broken.

Give him three more years.
You will die.

But today!
Snowy Night
I cannot die miserably at the age of sixteen and end my reincarnation!
"Ok?"

As Li Shentong fell down.

The demon-hunting energy in Ji Xia's body suddenly started to circulate wildly, flowing along his body, causing his eyes to focus slightly:
"When will the 'Demon Hunting Dao Qi' be able to refine half-demon species?"

Li Shentong's mother was born into a 'divine noble family', that is, half-demon, and his father, Li Shenyao, was a rising human, so he has half-demon blood.

"However, I am no longer in my original time period. This is at least a hundred years ago, and the demon-hunting energy in my body is 'innate', so it is naturally different from acquired!"

"maybe"

“What an incredible transformation.”

But this shabby place is not a good place for retreat.

Looking at the two bodies on the ground, Ji Xia searched his memory and pondered.

till this moment,

There are still three paths before him.

The first option is to find a place deep in the mountains or forests to hide and accumulate strength. However, without power, skills, and information about this world, this may not be the best strategy.

The second one is that he traveled thousands of miles to Tongye Prefecture to seek refuge with his nominal biological father, Tongye Gong 'Li Shenyao', but Li Qing and Li Shentong had just died, so how did he escape?

If the truth comes out, I might not even know how I died.

The third one is to go to the 'Life and Death Mountain and River Sect' to become a disciple.

Zuo Shanhe, the leader of the Life and Death Sect, who was known as the best sect in the world and practiced the best martial arts in the world, 'The Mysterious Art of Life and Death Mountains and Rivers', had left a very deep impression on Li Shunfan.

And
If he could become one of them, then from now on, at least he wouldn't have to worry about being hunted down and hidden dangers, which would be enough for him to practice for a while.

"But no matter what, it's better to leave this place first."

Ji Xia pondered, stepped on the snow with a "thump thump" sound, and wanted to go out without looking back.

But at this time,
clap clap.

A round of applause came from the mountain god statue behind him, causing Ji Xia to pause and become a little stiff. He hadn't noticed anything from the beginning to the end.
There is someone behind me.

He turned his head slowly, his face expressionless.

I only saw————

Behind the mountain statue,

There was a tall young man with disheveled hair, untidy beard, bright eyes, dressed in gray and barefoot. He was clapping his hands and looking at him silently.

On both sides of this man, there is a fat monk with kind eyes and a smile like Maitreya Buddha, and a short, thin Taoist with a dark complexion.

Ji Xia looked at the gray-clothed man in the middle for a moment, and couldn't help feeling a chill in his heart.

this person
He is an incredible master.

really,

The next second, that person spoke:

"Li Taxian, Li Taxian, what a great name, what a spirit!"

His eyes lit up, and he walked over on his own, put his arm around Ji Xia's shoulders, grinned in a familiar way, and kept patting his shoulders:
"Boy, you may not be very old, but I think you have a bright future. Li Shenyao gave birth to a good son!"

"I"

"He is the leader of the No. 1 demon sect in the world, the Wuwei sect, Feng Zizai!"

"Would you like to be my brother?"

Ji Xia pursed his lips and wanted to leave, but the hand on his shoulder felt like iron, forcing him to look at the person in front of him helplessly.

The 'non-action' school.

He had heard this name from Li Shunfan's memory.

The world's number one demon sect?

It’s almost like everyone in the world is calling for his death!

If you follow your nature and do nothing, then there is nothing in the world that you cannot do. There is only one rule to join this sect. As long as the sect leader thinks you are a capable person and he acknowledges you as his brother, then you become a disciple of "Wuwei".

From now on, the sect will not restrict your behavior. You can do whatever you want. You have to learn all the skills and techniques by yourself. Why? Because there is no such thing in the sect!

If I enter your door, won’t I be in trouble?

Is this the limit of 'sixteen years old'?
Song Chaixin had never encountered such a top master at the beginning, and he didn't have any help! ?
However----

Da da da!
At this moment,
Suddenly, there was the sound of iron hooves stepping on the snow.
Ji Xia tilted his head, leaned against the window and looked out, and vaguely saw circles of cavalry, about a hundred of them, who had surrounded the temple just because he had delayed for a while.

As the flags floated in the snowy night, they appeared, dimming to the extreme.

Jixia has sharp eyes.

Now I can see clearly.

All I saw was the word "Fuyao" written on it.

Soaring.

Except for one of the five states, there is one named Fuyao.

It is said that the king of the Yin Dynasty once brought a pregnant woman into the palace, made her his empress, and treated her with the utmost honor and favor.

That woman had given birth to a daughter.

Even if there is no blood relationship.

Yin Jun waved his hand and gave her the utmost honor and favor, and crowned her with the title of a state, saying:
'Princess Fuyao'!
